Mindfulness Q & A

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is being alert and present in the here and now. When you’re mindful, you live in the moment and are especially aware of your day-to-day experiences. In that way, you can leave the past behind and not anticipate or think about the future.

This heightened awareness is said to yield many benefits and help improve productivity, mood, and motivation.

In our daily lives, we may often notice that our mind isn’t in the present moment. Instead, we’re distracted, and our mind is somewhere else — maybe the future, or the past.

These thoughts detract from the current moment; thus, mindfulness aims to bring you back and help you achieve a productive, beneficial state of awareness, while calmly accepting your feelings, thoughts, and body sensations.

How is mindfulness applied to health care?

Mindfulness is a tool to enhance patient wellness. The Five Stones team introduces you to mindfulness in a variety of ways, such as practicing yoga and mindful stress management.

The team also offers services and treatments that enhance mindfulness and relaxation, including Reiki, massage, bodywork, and hypnosis.
